To all whom it mag concern: I v

Be it known that I, RIoN Hosn, a citizen of the United States, residing at N orwood, in the county of Hamilton and State of, Ohio, have invented certain new and usefulji Improvements in Portable Sash and Door Holding Means, of which the following is a specification. v g It is the object of my invention-to provide While the'same are being planed and fitted-to the window-franie-or door-frame, or fitted with. hardware preparatory to being insertedin said frames, for instance when inserting the sashes and doors in a new building.

v The most general practice has been, when doors,- tov nail the same temporarily to some stationary object, which results in marring of the parts. I

My invention? consists in providing a novel holder for sashes and doors which is window sill of the building, and is readily PORTABLE sAsH AND nooaHoLnInG Means;
